Solo dining

[d000hg]

Despite having done this kind of work for near 4 years I've never truly got used to going out to restaurants by myself. I'm happy enough at a hotel, but I have to really want that curry (it's always a curry) before I go out. I also feel kind of guilty when I call the Mrs who is eating microwaved frozen leftovers

I'm always intrigued how many solo diners our nearest curry house has whenever we're there. I rarely see it in other restaurants, Indian included, but in this place there always seem to be two or three guys (always guys) eating alone.

I don't dine alone, I dine with my iPad.

Dining alone is no excuse for poor table manners. Now get your elbows off the table and sit up straight.

He he he.

Family story from the war era. A large family were sat around the table for Sunday dinner, when a doodlebug came down a few streets away. The explosion was deafening, and large chunks of plaster fell from the ceiling into their dinners.

"What was that mummy?" one of the kids asked.

The mother and matriarch replied "It was a doodlebug, now get your elbows off the table and carry on eating".

Currently in Pizza Express, Holborn resisting the urge to order a bottle of wine!

Nurse! Bring him the restaurant guide and a winelist!


Cheers though, I dine alone a lot too; best to make it enjoyable though by finding a decent restaurant, and I find if I go back regularly they don't mind if I buy a bottle one night and finish it the next.

I normally read a book if I'm alone in a restaurant.
